You are right, of course.

It's just that it is obvious Mourinho is a fan of the club he manages and so is Lennon at Celtic and one or two others.

Hopefully we can weave our magic on that Pulis fella as we are, if not a very successful club, a very passionate one.

And it has been for all the years I can remember. Even during the 5,000 crowd days of the mid-eighties.

Are we talking about the same manager who does not sit down for 90 minuets and then loves seeing us score? So what he does speak with passion after a match.

Never saw him appear to love Stoke either. He's just that kind of bloke, straight up more than emotional.

Optimistic as ever

Pulis has little time for telling the media what he thinks. When he mentions Stoke it is often a question by the media that relates to stoke. But straight after he always says my job is to focus on the job in hand and that is to keep palace n the premier league.

I didn't see his post match conference but it's funny because tonight I was thinking he may well become one of my favourite ever Palace managers.

I know we usually do our best to f*** it up but I just have this feeling us and TP are well matched. Both have that underdog spirit.

I love his little Coppellesque run down the touchline. It may not be as enjoyable as the good fisting that Dowie used to give us. but he does seem very genuine and humble.

I saw Mourinho talking to Lineker on MOTD and he's still a bit of a smug t*** whose laconic act is way past its sell by date. The deathly Pellegrini lacks passion (and a few pints of blood by the looks of him), Paul Lambert I can never understand a word he says.... the list of Premier Managers I'm glad we haven't got is quite long.

But Pulis - he'll do just fine for me and given time I think he may just requite our love.

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

Could well become the most succesful manager ever at Palace. The perfect fit and no stupid sound bites or comedic statements.

He knows how damn hard his job is this season and is purely focused on the next game, never getting up when we win or down when we lose. This will get through to the players and from five last night they will have all been focused on the Everton game. Perfect.

Not surprised he has fondness for Stoke where he did an exceptional job over many, many years. However, the longer he is with us the Stoke memories will fade and he will feel more and more part of this club.

TP is a top, top manager and I am delighted he is ours.
